Описание:
In Houston 2020: America's Boom Town - An Extreme Close Up, Ralph Bivins examines the entrepreneurial mecca that became one of nation's fastest-growing cities. With deft forensics and informed observations, Bivins explains the forces that shaped Houston and brought the city to a tipping point.
Digesting its robust growth poses a great challenge for city leaders, who grapple with mounting economic issues, transportation problems and regular flooding that threatens to become a chronic condition.
Bivins, recently the first-place winner of the Best Column award from the National Association of Real Estate Editors, details the urban geography and peculiar real estate markets of the expansive Texas metropolis that covers more than six hundred square miles. Houston 2020: America's Boom Town - An Extreme Close Up pinpoints the projects, people and nodes of growth that will determine whether this Boom Town matures into a great megalopolis or falters under its own weight.
Close ups:
- Apprising the nation's first domed stadium - the Astrodome - and its $105 million renovation.
- Coming back from Hurricane Harvey and other setbacks.
- Scouting must-know landmarks start with Pennzoil Place, once hailed as the building of the decade by the New York Times.
- Navigating the nation's largest highway loop, aka the Grand Parkway.
- Reclaiming downtown with Discovery Green, a key to luring Houstonians back to the urban core.
- Tearing down the Pierce Elevated freeway and rerouting Interstate 45 sews together split communities.

Описание:
Inspired by a true story, Peace of Ourselves is a coming-of-age novel about a young man's evolving objection to the Vietnam War and his subsequent move from the US to Canada. The book offers a unique point of view that will trigger contemplative memories for those who lived during that time and a historical perspective for those who did not.
Kevin Fischer is a Missouri boy growing up in the '60s and '70s. He's watching television after oral surgery on the day President Kennedy is shot. He's on spring break traveling through Memphis when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is killed. By the time he's in college, Kevin is participating in the growing, antiwar protests.
Kevin meets John, a Vietnam veteran who is traumatized by what he saw "over there." John and Kevin have long talks about the realities of fighting in the Vietnam War, US Government international expansionism and the acceptance of these policies by the majority of US citizens. Although Kevin has a college draft deferment, as well as a medical issue that should preclude him from military service, he strongly opposes the Vietnam War on principle. This ideology is tested when his number comes up short in the draft lottery of 1969 making it more likely he will be drafted after college.
John has decided to immigrate to Canada, and Kevin goes along for the road trip before he goes back to college. Kevin falls in love with Canada and decides to stay, much to the dismay of his parents, who are more of the belief, "my county, right or wrong." Kevin's true love from school, Lorraine, joins him in Canada, and they begin a unique, shared adventure managing a large vineyard operation in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.

Описание: This classic New York Times bestseller is an illuminating portrait of JFK--from his thrilling rise to his tragic fall--by two of the men who knew him best. As a politician, John Fitzgerald Kennedy crafted a persona that fascinated and inspired millions--and left an outsize legacy in the wake of his murder on November 22, 1963. But only a select few were privy to the complicated man behind the Camelot image. Two such confidants were Kenneth P. O'Donnell, Kennedy's top political aide, and David F. Powers, a special assistant in the White House. They were among the president's closest friends, part of an exclusive inner circle that came to be known as the "Irish Mafia." In Johnny, We Hardly Knew Ye, O'Donnell and Powers share memories of Kennedy, his extraordinary political career, and his iconic family--memories that could come only from intimate access to the man himself. As they recount the full scope of Kennedy's journey--from his charismatic first campaign for Congress to his rapid rise to national standing, culminating on that haunting day in Dallas--O'Donnell and Powers lay bare the inner workings of a leader who is cherished and mourned to this day, in a memoir that spent over five months on the New York Times bestseller list.
